At the moment I plan to wait just a little more as Whisper has made contact, as has Biffer.

Surely the holiday must end soon. Although this is the second holiday this month.

He could be disorganised, I really hope so.

might be the best way to go if whisper & biffer have kindly offered their help giving him the benefit of doubt might be he has an internal staff problem that he is trying to sort and the holiday is a tactic for more time to sort maybe with the police who knows.

I may be more trusting, more tolerant and more na´ve than the average Rib Netter...

It's summer. People go away during summer. Not impossible the office boy was away and now the boss is etc. Boss may even be away twice -- I've covered 6 of the last 8 weeks of a colleague who was away and on call.

He has sent an email. You can send emails anywhere in the world. You don't need mobile signal. Your wife on holiday with you doesn't need to know you are working etc.

It needs sorting. Sorting in public rarely sorts stuff. Threats often result in people not going the extra mile to sort it.

Sure at some stage naming and shaming is appropriate. Schools will be back everywhere in UK by 7 September - normality will return.

In the meantime for those keen to protect themselves -- don't send 'cash' as payment for goods...
